Enies Lobby

Chapter 6: Enies Lobby

An uninhabited, desolate island.

The Turkey Pirates, having narrowly escaped death, were recuperating here.

Edwards and his crew had gotten incredibly lucky, escaping the attack of that whale, Laboon.

Facing these obedient lucky survivors.

Roy directly took these pirates under his wing.

After all, Roy was quite superstitious about luck.

Whether it was his transmigration or the Luck-Luck Fruit in the world of the Pirate King.

In short, it all proved that luck was real in the Pirate King world, so Roy always valued people with good luck.

Thus, the lucky Turkey Pirates became the first direct pirate force under Roy's command.

As for Bruno, he turned a blind eye to this.

After all, such things were not uncommon within the World Government.

Collusion between officials and bandits had been common since ancient times.

It would be abnormal if they didn't collude.

The Turkey Pirates were collecting supplies for their upcoming voyage on the deserted island.

Meanwhile, some distance away from the island on the sea.

Unlike the bright sunshine on the deserted island.

The sky above that sea area was covered in dark clouds.

BOOM!

A piece of hail falling from the sky created an indentation in the smooth sea.

As rain and giant hailstones continuously fell from the sky and smashed into the sea.

Looking up at the sky at this moment, one would be surprised to find.

Within those gloomy, oppressive dark clouds.

A giant formed of dark clouds was actually standing tall.

A large amount of hail continuously fell from within the Cloud Giant.

And as the Cloud Giant in the sky moved its body as if it had consciousness, it then violently charged downwards.

BOOM!

The Cloud Giant, almost larger than the island, collided directly with the sea surface, creating a dark wave formed of dark clouds.

Taking the umbrella handed to him by Edwards.

Looking at the god-like figure in the sky.

This was no longer the first time Roy had displayed his abilities.

Everyone around was swallowing their saliva.

Indeed, such world-ending scenes, no matter how many times they were witnessed, would always shock them.

"As expected of Lord Roy! This level of combat power should not be much inferior to a Marine Admiral, right?"

Watching the Cloud Giant in the sky gradually dissipate, a mass of clouds then floated towards the deserted island.

As Roy materialized in the air and took the warm towel handed to him by Edwards.

"It's still not good enough! Generating lightning within the dark clouds is too difficult. It seems I need to understand the fruit's abilities more."

According to Roy's imagination, the collision of positive and negative charges within the dark clouds would produce thunder in the sky.

But when he actually tried it, he discovered the true difficulty involved.

Raising his hand and looking at the mist swirling around his fingertips.

"My abilities still need further training. As for Sky Island, it looks like I'll have to make a trip there soon."

Ordinary clouds were not much of a threat to top-tier powerhouses.

But the Cloud Sea in the sky, formed from Seastone particles and water vapor.

That was the essential killing weapon for developing the Cloud-Cloud Fruit.

Moreover, in the sky, there was a unique Sky Island culture where different clouds had different functions.

These were important future directions and references for Roy to develop his abilities.

What's more, Roy had long coveted the floating Cloud Islands that could carry things.

Although Enel in the sky was a huge threat, it was well-known that Cloud Islands were not unique in the sea.

Therefore, Roy did not intend to clash with Enel in the short term. He planned to find a smaller, desolate Cloud Island to occupy and then use his abilities to control and develop it.

This was Roy's short-term plan.

Of course, Roy intended to claim the territories ruled by Enel, whether it was the vast Cloud Island or the Gold City hidden within the Cloud Sea.

These were things Roy couldn't possibly let go of. However, he didn't want to clash with that pervert Enel anytime soon.

The more he encountered Logia-type Devil Fruits, the more he felt the terrifying power they contained. Thinking of the Lightning-Lightning Fruit, hailed as the strongest among Logia types.

Roy felt that with his current strength, he didn't have absolute confidence in taking down Enel directly.

It couldn't be helped, that was a top-tier Devil Fruit renowned for both speed and attack power.

As far as Roy was concerned, in the current world, only Kaido and Kizaru might be able to defeat Enel.

As for other strong individuals, while Enel might not be able to win in a direct confrontation, if he wanted to escape, it was estimated that no one could do anything to him.

The reason Monkey D. Luffy was able to defeat him, in Roy's opinion, was entirely due to the elimination power of the Child of Destiny.

He threw the towel in his hand towards Edwards, who was acting as a waiter beside him.

"Bruno, it's about time, we should head back.

If we keep slacking off, Spandam will probably go crazy again!"

He stretched towards the sea, where the ripples had yet to dissipate.

Bruno's gaze towards Roy grew even more reverent.

Strength was the voice of authority on the sea, and worshipping strength never went out of style on the sea.

Roy had conquered Bruno with his strength.

Compared to Spandam, a superior who got his position through connections and had a truly awful personality.

Although Roy also got his position through connections, his strength had genuinely won over Bruno, a member of CP9.

After Roy returned, the members of the Turkey Pirates accelerated their pace in searching for daily supplies and modifying their pirate ship.

Once nautical supplies like fresh water and fruits were all loaded into the ship's hold.

The pirate ship, which had been docked beside a deserted island, changed its appearance and then directly set sail towards Enies Lobby.

"Finally, we're back. This trip has completely worn me out."

He looked at the island ahead, which seemed to be floating on the sea.

The white buildings and the beautiful sunlight in the sky made it seem like a holy paradise.

"L-Leader, is, is this Enies Lobby?"

The subordinate beside Edwards looked at Enies Lobby, his legs trembling slightly.

Clearly, for Roy.

Enies Lobby was a scenic and beautiful place of work.

But for the members of the Turkey Pirates, Enies Lobby was simply a hellish existence, without a doubt.

It couldn't be helped; they were pirates!

After all, behind Enies Lobby lay the world-famous great prison, Impel Down.

In such a place, even the most hardened criminals would find their legs going weak.
